Ok im waiting for filler primer to dry then sanding with 600 grit to smooth out and make even to get rid if the texture finish. Ill then be onto sprayin the color. I have one last question not mentioned on the diy. After you put on all your clear coat and its dry, do you wet sand then buff it or jyst buff it? ( they dont mention wet sanding or buffing just the psinting portion).

It says volkswagon because they dont have any audi there. Itll look better either way. Its volkswagon silver. Types of silvers known to match like "Radiant silver" also werent there. They only had these perfect match types and high temp type paint. I went to two diffetent advance autos. Lets hope its a close match.

Duplicolor makes Brilliant silver now, it replaced radiant silver I believe. I think the volkswagen silver is lighter.

The right one will say matches Chrysler colors.
